Attorney Craig Bernhardt

To me, being a trial lawyer means dedicating myself to standing up for the rights of people, never selling out, and actually caring about truth and justice. I treat my clients like they are family. I give them my all. I pride myself on my caring and empathetic approach to working with my clients and their families. I work relentlessly to help juries find the truth and deliver justice to those who have been wronged.

I believe in representing PEOPLE, not the Government or Corporate America. When I walk into a courtroom I am up against another attorney who is representing the Government or a Corporation. Make no mistake, there is an insurance company or governmental entity behind the other lawyer trying to limit an individual’s right to justice. Helping a jury see the truth and exposing the other attorney and corporation for what they are fuels my determination and passion to stand up for the rights of people. For the members of our community.

I do not feel the need to brag about my success on television. My record speaks for itself. I will put it up against any other member of the legal community. Any time. Any place.

I refuse to allow my law practice to be run as a “factory.” I will not place people on a conveyor belt and treat them as a number or a file. I want to get to know the people I choose to represent. I interact with them weekly if not daily. They become my friends. I educate them on the law. We work closely together. Too many lawyers fail to dedicate themselves and their time to their clients. They fail to get to know their clients or understand who they are or what their lives are about. How can an attorney represent someone they don’t take the time to know and understand?

I make a difference in people’s lives. I help people.
